As well as I’m gone through all pros and cons with this speaker. But as always I’ll go over both pros and cons I’m David and I’m here to help you make that purchase decision welcome everyone to another review.

Physical features of Harmon Kardon onyx studio 5

Going over the physical features first this is elegant slimmer And honestly if placed on an end table this complements the room as a piece of decor now do you guys think that let me know that in that comment section below.

Build Quality of Harmon Kardon onyx studio 5

But let’s get into the build quality there’s premium fabric all around here a practical real metal handle up top that’s cold to the touch that complements this high-end feel now keep in mind.

this is not meant to be a rugged outdoor speaker so we don’t have a reinforced metal grill there is some slight flexing when you press this right here isn’t that waterproof either and it does truly not drop-resistant either.

Now, this speaker was not designed for that but if we are to treat this as a speaker for the backyard cookout the speaker for entertaining in the living room or a great room some audio in the bedroom or sunroom this is ideal.

Now one thing I truly was skeptical about was because of its narrow and tall design does it tip over easily no rocking the table it doesn’t as there’s a moderate amount of weight to this anchoring it down.

Button Quality of Harmon Kardon onyx studio 5

Taking a look at the buttons all are very click and responsive the unique feature worth mentioning are the pairing button once you hold down this Bluetooth button for five seconds you can pair this with another Onix studio 5 speaker I’m going to turn this on right now.

But if you have two of these speakers it provides a lot more room-filling music but pairing two together does not play stereo left and right audio separation I also confirmed this can’t be paired with the Onyx studio 3 or the studio 4.

or other JBL speakers only to another onyx5 is allowed unless we’ve gotten these buns up top here you can indeed pause and play and skip a song you oddly can’t go back on a track with the physical buttons up top here there are no voice assistant capabilities connected with your phone.

Bluetooth of Harmon Kardon onyx studio 5

Now as for Bluetooth this comes with version 4.2 which I am okay with Bluetooth 5.0 is the latest technology to be transparent.

but 4.2 a very good standard based on my test over the years it’s still reliable testing the range I’m able to get a hundred and ten feet of range with the signal going through one wall here all the way down to the other side of the building, unfortunately, this does not play well.

Where the video as they are bad delays on Apple devices Android fared a little bit better but voices are simply not in sync the Harman Kardon does acknowledge that this is more for music than for video.

But again you can use the three-and-a-half millimeter chord a positive note you can connect two devices at the same time so you don’t need to unpaid and repair when you’re switching phones or computers.

Connectivity of Harmon Kardon onyx studio 5

So you can’t use Sire or Google assistants and as always my pet peeve here I wish these speakers offered more robust battery level indicator instead of one light that turns red once it’s near dead which is on here.

Maybe five slick white LEDs would have been great or maybe even voice prompts like Bose that would have been super convenient especially on more upscale or sophisticated pieces of tech like this you know other than.

that Rhodes to the rear it’s very straightforward for the speaker competes more so with the likes of these Sooners one Bose sound Touch and maybe the marshal stand more speakers where they are meant more so to be stationary than portable

.Battery Life of Harmon Kardon onyx studio 5

So it’s connected directly in the wall using a wire cable this can’t be charged with a USB cable battery life is rated at up to eight hours.

And keeping these apples-to-apples so this one Bose sound Touch and Marshall stand more multi-room wall don’t have batteries built-in.

In the middle is a 3.5-millimeter physical connection ideal for video or TV and last is a USB port but only used for servicing or updating the firmware.

Audio Test of Harmon Kardon onyx studio 5

so alright guys let’s get into the audio test alright guys first up the biggest difference from the annex 4 to the annex 5 there’s one less wolf around this an done less tweeter most likely to offer this slimmer form now being transparent I don’t own the annex for anymore.

But doing a little research guys were saying the annex 4 offered slightly more bass from mice panel own test of the annex 5 this is definitely loud enough for medium to large living areas for the pool.

And such the audio is still heard from afar and you still have music but it’s not as encompassing or filling assay these so nice one.

now although the annex 5 has one less woofer that’s still a very good amount of bass it’s deep rumbling and helps a lot with experiencing your music better than their sister brand JBL like the JBL charge 3 or even the JBL X treatment I love those speakers.

And better than the Sony extra bass portable Bluetooth speakers the only critique in the bass range was that maximum volume there isn’t much audio separation or depth with.

The lower frequencies versus the mid-range the bass gets slightly jumbled and having it bit clearer more defined would have helped supplement be higher and feel of this particular speaker.

My Personal Opinion about Harmon Kardon onyx studio 5

It’s not bad at all and still sounds great but I was expecting just a little bit more clarity or definition that’s where the mid-range this did great in my personal opinion especially.

The upper mid-range levels where vocals are heard where most instruments are experienced by the human ear very clean very articulate detailed it sounds great without being recessed or being overly bright or for it.

It’s a very well balanced audio signature kind of similar to boast you can say now as for the high frequencies will you hear snares those taps string instruments touching this range its sharp.

But never ear piercing and enjoyable experience overall never did I’d hear horrible distortion if anything it’s fine a very refined experience.

If you do intend and blasting this at maximum fine again it’s not bad but if audio quality is your first over aesthetics I would look into the attics for.

 To be honest with you guys and compared to the competitors and the others are a bit beefier and audio purse a little bit more encompassing surrounding you.

But the annex 5 offers you the best of both the worlds’ audio performance beautiful-looking speaker that you put around your house.
